Horoscope for Monday, Jan. 10, 2022

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or important decisions from 1 to 9 a.m. Chicago time. After that, the moon moves from Aries into Taurus.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You make a fabulous impression on others now, especially bosses and VIPs. Nevertheless, be very clear about their expectations of you. Vice versa, be very clear that they understand what you want. Having said that, this is a kind of day when people are easy-going and willing to cut others some slack.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today unusual studies, especially related to spiritual matters, might intrigue you. You might also be attracted to teachers or guru-like figures from other traditions and foreign lands. Hidden knowledge and esoteric subjects will fascinate you.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Because you feel sympathetic for others, especially those who are less fortunate, you will try to help someone if you can. This is a wise choice because, after all, what goes around, comes around. Ultimately, you’re helping yourself. (Now that’s a win-win.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Relations with friends, spouses and partners will be warm and rather idealistic. You might admire this other person, and, very likely, they will admire you in return. Isn’t it curious how we can wear our “critical” glasses or our rosy, admiring glasses? It’s that simple. Different ways of seeing our world.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

If you are dealing with your health issues today, be careful. You might be misdiagnosed because things might not be quite as they appear. Meanwhile, you might have counseling advice for a coworker because you are certainly willing to listen with genuine sympathy to someone.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today you feel sympathetic and caring about children and young people. You will go out of your way to help children in need. Personally, romantic relationships will be over-the-top and idealized — the stuff of movies. (Probably Nicolas Cage is in it.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today not only do want to make where you live look more attractive and perhaps entertaining as well, you will also want to help a family member who needs your input, in some way. Remember: True generosity is giving what is needed.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You might spend time daydreaming today or being lost in a fantasy world. However, on a more practical note, if you can help someone you encounter in your daily world, you will. You know only too well how a little kindness can go a long way.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Be very clear in negotiating financial matters today because things could get fuzzy. In part, you might interpret things the way you want them to be instead of how they actually are. Caution against being extravagant and spending too much on luxurious items.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today you feel warm-hearted and generous to others. You see through what is superficial and phony and you see the real person behind their mask. This is why you feel sympathetic to someone and will help them if you can.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You will enjoy time by yourself today because solitude feels like a luxury. You might spend time daydreaming. You might also give some real thought and energy to others who are suffering. You are very aware of what is going on in the world.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today you might idealize a friend or be inclined to put them up on a pedestal. Or possibly, someone will do this to you? Either way, it’s not a solid basis for a friendship. However, it’s good to admire your friends. It’s also good to be able to help them when they need your help. It feels good to be generous.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Singer, songwriter Rod Stewart (1945) shares your birthday. You are mature and value family. You are empathetic and caring about others, which is why you will be attracted to organizations that help those who are less fortunate. You are also adventurous! This is a strong year for you. You will attain power, leadership in recognition! Expect a promotion or an award.
